## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted testers who hands-on cooked on the exact Large model — Reviewed (USA Today) and Pro Tool Reviews — both strongly recommend it, praising precise temperature control, 700°F+ searing heat, and fuel efficiency. Both survived verification with all quotes literal and all measured values supported in the source text. Main gripes: costly required accessories, weight, and price. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2023-08-27–2024-04-23.)

Praised: Precise, wide-range temperature control via top/bottom dampers; Reaches high searing heat over 700°F; Fuel efficient — lump charcoal lasts and leftover coals relight; Versatile: grills, smokes, and doubles as a pizza/bread oven.
Flagged: Key functions need extra paid accessories (ConvEGGtor for indirect heat, griddle for searing); High price for the grill itself; Heavy, stays hot long after cooking, hard to move or store; Ash cleanup is fiddly with the ash tool.
Disagreement: Both agree it is excellent and worth the money, but frame indirect cooking differently: Reviewed calls the oval design's inability to make a two-zone fire a drawback that forces buying the ConvEGGtor, while Pro Tool Reviews presents the ConvEGGtor positively as a must-have add-on rather than a limitation.
